An interesting mix of old and new stock. The new is what you can expect from most shop fittings, office equipment and industrial shelving places. The old can be a bit of pot luck some times. Some of the departments have better options than others - for example, you're more likely to find used shelving than you are shop fittings. But if you are fitting out a shop, rather than a warehouse, looks count, so you'll want to go with new.

They ship all around Australia, and overseas, which is convenient. The staff are pretty knowledgeable.

Oh - just don't go in on a Saturday morning - things can be rather hectic, as they operate a skeleton staff.

These guys give great haircuts. No matter where I live in Brisbane, I like to come here to get my hair cut. They can be busy at times, but it's always worth the wait.

Approximate cost: $25

I hate doctors. You have to drag me kicking and screaming to see one. Which is what my flatmate did the first time I went here.

I have to say, I don't mind going here. The receptionists are great, the doctors are fantastic, they bulk bill and the waiting room is always clean.

It's refreshing when you find a doctor that wants to treat you, rather than push you out the door with a quick fix.

I don't want to have to go back there, but if I need a doctor, I'll be going straight there.

As far as kebabs go, these guys do a great job. Their food is always fresh, the staff is always friendly, and they are one of the healthier options in the Toowong Village food court. The only problem is the price. They are just too expensive. Paying over $10 for a kebab or basic Mexican is just too much in my book. Once you add cheese and other things to your kebab it just prices them out of the equation, which is a shame, really. If you're willing to pay the price, you'll have a good meal. But I can't justify spending the money.

Approximate cost: $Over $10

These guys have been around forever in the food court in Toowong Village, and for one simple reason. The food here is always good.

They are always busy, the staff are always rushed, but they always provide great food.

Forget McDonald's - if you're in the food court, go see these guys. You won't regret it!

Decent sushi at a decent price. It's your standard format for a sushi train-style place.

The staff here are a little informal. Every time I've been here there have been staff members just sitting around doing nothing. Whether they are on a break, waiting for their shift to start, or whatever other reason, it makes the place look a little unprofessional. Likewise, the service can be a little slow, even when they are not too busy.

One last thing, either the seats are too high, the bench badly designed, or my legs are too long, because I am constantly banging my knees.

The sushi here is not too bad, the service is pretty good, and the prices are what you'd expect to pay for a sushi train-style place. There's more than enough to keep the average sushi eater happy, but I will confess that there are a couple of odd things that go by. My friend and I had a plate of hot dog sushi (a normal looking sushi roll, except there is a slice of hot dog in it) and dagwood dogs/pluto pups/battered savs on sticks.

Food Court Chinese food. They serve exactly what you'd expect. It's nothing special, but it's definitely an alternative to the other fast food places. If you really want something different, try ordering their soups (which they make when you order). They are hot, filling, and better than the hot box options here.

For a kiosk in a food court this place isn't too bad. It's nothing exceptional, but you get what you pay for. The one highlight is their steamed Dim Sims - they're definitely one of the best things they offer.

I was lucky enough to be on Park Road for an early lunch (before everywhere becomes packed) and stopped in here. Well, that's not entirely true, the charm of the elderly gentleman out the friend drew us in. It was a wonderful first introduction to the place.

The service was good, with the waiters being very attentive. The food was pretty good, too. I've paid more for worse at cafes in the past. It was a good thing we were there for an early lunch because as we were finishing our meal, it started to get really busy.

The only negative I really have was when it came time to pay the bill. We waited for about ten minutes, and when it still hadn't arrived, I had to go inside to ask for it (which was where I had to pay for it, anyway, but waiting for a bill to arrive irks me).

If you're looking for an early lunch on Park Road, I'd definitely recommend this place.
